I'm pretty sure real ones have some Honda stuff etched on the back of the rims.

knockoff OEM. Nice.

OEM's should have some stamping to show authenticity.

I've seen the fake ones before. At least they look new (since so often they are).

I personally am not a fan of Si or "Si style" wheels.

Tell us what they say on them.
